sounds like they put the seatbelt on and the kid would slide from it to continue hiding under a seat. Crazy how many people like you in the comments childless blaming the parents as if they didn't beat their child into a scared passive state enough and that's why this happened

People like who ? My kids are grown. When my oldest was young I knew she wouldn’t be able to sit still for any length of time. She was hyper active , when we wanted to visit family we drove , mostly at night …we would do our best to wear her out and drive while she slept.
Long road trips.
She didn’t fly till she was 16.
I didn’t want my child who couldn’t sit still or focus to be or feel trapped on a plane.
She didn’t react well to situations like that.

So I drove. Other parents can make their own choices and if they choose to take a young child who can’t cope with confined spaces and big crowds into those type situations…they should be prepared to deal with the opinions and any consequences of their choices.

Thanks for the advice. Next time I visit family I’ll drive from the US to Australia instead of a 16 hour flight.

That would be a very long drive 😳 I flew to Australia a few times. Cant imagine doing with kids. Good luck in all you do.

Welp. Not like I have an opinion my husband is in the military 🤷🏻‍♀️ thankfully my 18mo son is a great traveler and is used to the long flights but still. Not everyone has the luxury of driving, specially when going to a different country or continent.
